About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Driven by Dan Gurney at Indy in 1966 but crashed at the green flag along with 10 others. Raced again at Indy in 1967 with a Gurney-Weslake engine driven by Jochen Rindt and continued to race until 1972. Restored by Jim Robbins for Bob Sutherland, then mechanically redone by Bill Losee for Doug Magnon and competed in historic events. Engine recently rebuilt by Larry Slutter with dyno time only. Like new, clean and well preserved

Market commentary

Sold by RM at the Joe's Garage auction in 2008 for $528,000 with subsequent mechanical work. Not many cars at Monterey this year broke through the auction companies' pre-sale high estimates but this historic (and beautiful) AAR Eagle did, a measure of its presentation and the bidders' admiration for Dan Gurney.
